Chords for Rev. Charles Nicks, Jr. & the Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin

[G] Well you know Aretha's father, Reverend Franklin, was one of the most famous preachers _ that our country has ever had.
_ _ _ _ [Em] People would flock out, you [G] know, to the Crusades by the thousands to [C] hear Reverend Franklin preach.
So the singing [G] was the prelude, you know, to the preaching.
The [Em] preaching was the main thing.
But it became apparent as time went on that Aretha was going to have a great future [Gbm] in the singing [Bb] business.
